Campaign Update:

There are only five days left of the famous Babymaker campaign, and we are so close to breaking $2.5M. This wouldn't be possible without our amazing supporters!

If you haven't checked out the campaign and claimed your own Babymaker at the lowest price it will ever be offered- click here to head over to the campaign page and get yours before the price goes up again.

EuroTrip Babymaker Style

Did you know Pete took his Babymaker on an epic long distance ride through Europe?

He rode about 3500KM total on his Babymaker prototype, through some of the most extreme conditions imaginable. He wanted to work out every possible kink on the bike before we build yours.

Not only that, he did it with the bike fully loaded.

Pete's Babymaker prototype had no mounting points for a rack. He had to DIY an off the shelf rack. It took him hours to complete.

That's why all production Babymakers are coming with mounting points for racks, fenders and water bottle holders.

Stay tuned for videos of Pete's trip! You can get a preview here on Pete's Instagram.

If you want to do some touring on your Babymaker, we recommend ordering the touring package. Instructions to order are at the bottom of this update.

What does the touring package look like on a bike?

We won't have photos of the complete bike with touring package for some time, but our engineers are hard at work on some 3d renders.

For now, here's a render of the rack, designed just for the Babymaker-

As soon as we have renders of the full touring package completed, I'll share them in an update!

Back in San Diego, the team continues to work hard from home. As you can see from head of content, Ben Cidre's latest video.

He's going to tell you what he thinks of the Babymaker. He's not just blowing smoke though, Ben has decided to put some of his paycheck toward a Babymaker of his own!

Subscribe to the FLX YouTube channel if you want Ben to put the Machete away before he hurts himself.

We're thrilled about the reception of the Babymaker - we've never had so many of our team members and their family members purchase bikes for themselves like with the Babymaker.

Pete and I couldn't be more excited about the future of this game changing bike!

In Other News:

The campaign is ending Thursday at midnight. Tell your friends because when quarantine blows over there's no better way to spend time than on a bike ride with your buddies!

From all of us to you, Happy Easter.

We Love You,

Rob, Pete and Team FLX

"eBikes are for Lazy People"

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? We've got answers.

What's the best commuter ebike?

For daily commuting, the Babymaker II Pro is our most popular pick. It weighs just 35 lbs — light enough to carry up stairs or onto transit — and its Gates Carbon Belt Drive means virtually zero maintenance. A single charge gets you 20–70+ miles depending on assist level.

If you want cargo capacity and a more upright position, the Moonrider is a great alternative with dual racks and a Bafang mid-drive motor that handles hills with ease.

What's the best lightweight ebike?

The Babymaker II is our lightest model at just 33 lbs — significantly lighter than most ebikes on the market. Its minimalist frame and compact battery keep the weight down without sacrificing range or performance. Perfect if you need to carry it up stairs or store it under a desk.

Do I need a license to ride a Superhuman ebike?

In most US states, no license, registration, or insurance is required to ride an ebike — as long as it meets federal ebike classification standards. Most Superhuman models meet these requirements. Rules vary by state and municipality, so we recommend checking your local laws, especially for Class 3 bikes on trails or shared paths.

What's a fat tire ebike?

Fat tire ebikes feature oversized tires — typically 4 inches wide or more. Those wide tires give you more traction on loose surfaces like sand, gravel, and snow, better shock absorption, and increased stability at low speeds or in technical terrain. Great for riders who want to go off the beaten path or ride year-round regardless of conditions.

If you're looking for the best fat tire electric bike for all-terrain riding, the Superhuman Bikes Bomber is our top pick. The Bomber is a 750W scrambler-style fat tire ebike built to go anywhere — sand, trails, dirt roads, or city streets. It runs on a 48V 17Ah battery with 40+ miles of range, 20-inch fat tires for maximum grip, hydraulic brakes, dual suspension, a comfortable bench seat, and optional foot pegs for a moto-inspired feel. Available in multiple colors and two configurations, it's one of the most capable and versatile fat tire ebikes on the market.

What's the best ebike for beginners?

We recommend the Moonrider or the Photon for riders new to ebikes.

The Moonrider has a step-through frame (easy to mount and dismount), an intuitive mid-drive motor, and comes with front and rear racks so you can start using it for real errands right away. Its Shimano 10-speed lets you gradually learn how to blend pedal assist with gear selection.

The Photon is a great option if you want something lighter with a throttle option, so you can start by letting the bike do the work and increase your own pedaling input as you get comfortable. It ships 95% pre-assembled — front wheel, pedals, and handlebars and you're ready to ride. (And they glow in the dark!)

How long does shipping take?

All in-stock Superhuman bikes ship within 3–7 business days of order confirmation. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order leaves our warehouse. For the most current availability on specific models, check the product page or contact our support team.

What's the longest range ebike in your lineup?

The Weapon leads the lineup with 70+ miles of range on its 840Wh battery — the highest-capacity battery we offer. The F5 Trail also carries an 840Wh battery and delivers 50+ miles per charge under typical conditions.

Real-world range depends on rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, and how much you pedal vs. rely on the motor. Using lower assist levels and pedaling more actively will always extend your range.
